THE MINISTER'S PLEDGE.

The Ad0erfiSey argues that transac.
ton is all right, the parallel of which
would not be sustained by any court Of
Justice in a matter of ordinary business
A correspondent furnishes what we did
not have when criticising the action Of
the Finance Minister, in surrenderine
the security Of Messrs Spreckels & Co
That is, the thing that the former Min
lister of Finance engaged to do. 1t wa:
to hold the bonds so long as the bank
continued to do business, or until
ninety per cent Of the deposits were re-
paid There is good deal Of differ
ence between the. fulhllment Of that
engagement and the surrender of the
bonds on some private satisfaction
being given the Minister by the bank
ers that the deposits would be repaid.
There is very much difference between
the official proclamation of the security
being given, accompanied by a. grand
flourish of trumpets from the Govern
ment organ, and the private notifica-
ton furnished depositors, over which
the same journal kept strict silence
until constrained to speak out Of re-
gard, as it states, for the present Min
lister OF Finance. 1t looks as if the
Government that accepted the security
on behalf OF the public simply went
into partnership with the new bank for
the purpose of running opposition to a
formerly established private bank, and
now, when that partnership is dis
solved by mutual discomfort, the affairs
of the firm are to be settled up behind
the back of the public who were taken
into the confidence of the different
parties to the compact twenty months
ago. Some people talked at the time
the security was proclaimed as if it was
only sham or an advertising dodge
that the bonds could be Withdrawn
next day at Messrs. Spreckels s. Co.'S
pleasure. According to the Adts,hsey's
present contention those people were
right. The solemn engagement of Mr..
Kapena, which must be held to have
bound his successors in the Depart
ment Of Finance, if it was anything but
bald humbug, was that the $1,000
bonds were to be held as security to
depositors while the bank continued to
do business or until ninety per cent Of
the deposits were repaid.

CALIFORNIA; EXAMPLE.

AT the annual meeting of the Immi-
grafton Association Of California some
interesting facts regarding the progress
of that State were adduced. The
population is now estimated at upward
Of one million, exclusive OF Chinese,
an increase since 1881, of about I7s,-
900. Seventy-one post Offices have
been established within year. "With
in few years thousands OF homes
have been established on Government
land that for years before was regarded
as valueless for general agricultural
purposes; large private holdings have
been subdivided and improved; new
railroads have been built and projected
and new towns have been established
So runs report of the meeting Of the
Association. We have watched ac
counts of this bodys operations for a
year or two past, and they are conclus
i've that to the Association is due the
credit of very great deal of Califor

ported into Hawaii, where there is
much land to be reclaimed and far too
many large private holdings to be sub

That Security.

To The Editor of the Heydid
Your editorial article in the HERALD
of the Sth inst, concerning the sur
render by the Minister Of Finance of
the Hawaiian Government bonds held
as security for the depositors in the
Savings Bank of Spreckels e. Co, was
very much to the point; but it does not
seem to me to be wise to let the matter
drop where you left it.
|. Bad government has been the rule in
this Kingdom for the past four or five
years, and our Island communities
seem to be quite apathetic about re-
form. 1t is true that the feeling is en-
tertained by some persons that the only
method by which desired reform can
be brought about is by an appeal to
coercion; but the high order of intelli
gence which marks the better part Of
our people counsels constitutional
methods for the cure of the wrongs we
suffer under.
confess that constitutional methods
are more to my liking; but am re-
minded that there are two parties to
the compact that is the basis of our
Government. The Government has
ridden rough shod over constitutional
limitations and seems to defy the gov
erned. l say the Government, while
at the same time l feel convinced that
His Majesty is very largely responsible
for the wrongs his subjects chafe under
Nothing but the respect | have for
our fundamental law restrains me from
charging the King with being mainly
responsible for the quality Of the Min
istry that now misgoverns this King
dom.
What confidence can we have in an
administration that values its word so
lightly; that has no sense of the obliga-
ton a trust implies, as this bond tran
saction shows to be the case with the
present Ministry. Every depositor in
the Spreckels & Co. Savings Bank had
the assurance contained in the notice
pasted in his pass book as guarantee
for safety. The notice reads as follows:
Honolulu, April, 1885.
Received from Messrs. Claus
Spreckels & Co., bonds Of the Ha-
waiian Government to the amount of
Two Hundred Thousand Dollars, to
be held as a special deposit for the
security of the depositors in the Bank
of Deposits and Savings of Claus
Spreckcls & Co., during the continu-
ance of said bank. Said bonds are to
be redelivered by myself or my success
sors in Office to Claus Spreckels & Co.,
whenever said Bank of Deposits and
Savings ceases to do business, and
ninety per centum of the deposits en-
trusted to said bank are repaid upon
liquidation.
'Jno. NJ. Kapena,
minister Of Finance of the Hawaiian
Islands"
Not single condition Of this plausi-
bic, strong document has been observ-
ed by the Minister Of Finance. The
first notice that the dcpositors have Of
the violation Of the conditions set forth
in this speciously phrased pledge of the
Minister of Finance is from the bank,
saying that the bonds had been with
drawn 1t is not a sufficient answer to
say that no loss has accrued or will
accrue to single depositor. A Minis
terial pledge has been violated and it
behooves His Majesty, if he would re-
tain the respect and confidence of his
subjects, to dismiss from Office men
who value pledges so lightly.
